Question

Jeep Grand Cherokee. No downshift to first at stop. Can shift down manually and then shift to drive.

2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Transmission will not downshift to first after coming to a stop. Can manually shift to first and after accelerating can shift to drive and transmission works normally until I stop again. Then it will stay in 3rd. I feel an extra, what appears to be, an additional down shift just before stopping. Changed fluid etc., no help.

Had a short in trailer connection and corrected that and transmission worked ok for 2 weeks and then started doing the same thing. Just a fluke? Shows code 1762.

sounds like the sensor to your trans has went bad might change it and see how it goes most are located on the left side close to the tail of the tranny if you have changed filter and fluid and seen no metal shavings then tranny is good and its just the switch .....also there is a synchronizer at the top of the tranny right under your shifter that might be bad yes it is inside the tranny but easy to enough to fix check those out and see what goes also your code means 1762 - Gov Press Sen Offset Volts Too Low or High hope this helps
